We send inquiries to various firms as a preliminary step pursuant to inviting bids on projects. I'd like to be able to create a plain text paragraph and 'associate' it to these outbound emails such that they do not get sent with the email, but are easy to access on the house copy we keep.
We thought of a variety of ways to do this, but they all seemed overkill. I'm hoping there's a clever approach around that isn't.
Any ideas?
You can use Outlook Rules and Visual Basic for Applications to accomplish this. If that's something you've already looked at and determined it's "overkill" or don't like it for some other reason, too bad -- you're going to have to get your hands dirty with some code to get this done because it's such a custom request.
This answer which I provided for another similar-ish problem might be useful. You may be able to adapt some of the methods used there to your specific use case, but you'll have to know what you are doing. If you don't know what you're doing and no one at your office has any experience with Visual Basic for Applications programming or Outlook rules, you probably should hire a consultant.
